I&#39;ve been swimming for a few weeks and its probably about 60-62 F right now. Let me know. i have some good safe routes and would like to start doing longer swims now that the water is warm (er). I only wish I could get out there to swim... I live in Philly and can&#39;t get away just now. Are you planning on doing this swim?: www.greatsouthbayswim.com I signed up, although I think it&#39;s a bit of a reach for me. I&#39;m encouraged, however, by the hope that a following current offers. And the fact that I spent a lot of Augusts there as a kid, swimming in the bay, so I know pretty much how it behaves. ;) Is it only in the low 60s now? Not that that&#39;s so cold, just I remember it being closer to 70, but that was August/September. I have, however, done an ocean swim in mid-sixties temps w/ no wetsuit. Didn&#39;t bother me much... the day was so hot I was glad to have the cool water temp.<div style="clear:both;"></div>
